We are using Boost 1.34.0. This is something in the current version of Boost, which seems to only allow Directory paths to be used in a boost::filesystem::directory_iterator. So, the question I present would be whether or not there's another construct for doing this? My coworker found something in boost/regex/v4/fileiter.hpp called file_iterator, which seemed to achieve the correct result, but why isn't this part of Boost.Filesystem? Or is it and I'm just missing something?
Ah. I mistook the problem you were having, sorry. So to try to clarify: the problem you're actually experiencing is that you get an exception when you pass a wildcard string to directory_iterator? While I can sympathize with your request, I guess I find it defensible that wildcard matching would need the regex library.
